Advice regarding new seats
I am looking for replacements seats for my '95 coupe. First question, can someone recommend a source for the tan leather seats?
I am considering replacing the seats myself. Can someone give me some advice on approaching this job. I'm pretty good with my hands. Is this something I can take on or should I go to a pro? Also, can someone point me to a manual or set of instructions regarding seat replacement?

The seats come out of your '95 very easily, but I'd heartily recommend the GM Service Manual from Helms. It isn't cheap but it will be worth every dollar.
